Method and an arrangement for monitoring status of a production device configured to implement an industrial process or industrial production with a control device with sensors and actuators, where at least one further sensor is carried through the production device with a product being processed by the production device, where further signals are wirelessly transmitted to a status-monitoring device by the further sensor, and where the signals and/or status information items and the further signals are placeable in relationship with one another to generate status information item about the production device such that it is possible to plan the status monitoring separately from the production device, and possible to combine information items of the industrial control device with the information items and data of a mobile sensor (further sensor) that passes through the production device, such that more precise status information items about the production device status can be acquired.

Method for determining an axle geometry by recording and evaluating a topographical image of a face () of a wheel () fitted to an axle (), and a sensor () for execution of the method. The method includes projecting light with a coding onto an area on the face () of the wheel () from a projecting direction; recording the light reflected from the area on the face () of the wheel () with an image converter (), from a direction other than the light projecting direction; determining three-dimensional surface coordinates for the topographical image of the face () of the wheel () from the recorded light; and evaluating the topographical image in relation to a reference system.

A road test simulator having four rollers, each provided with an uneven surface coating, and four asynchronous motors, each of which drives one of the rollers.

Road test simulator with plural rollers

A method and a device to adjust the axle geometry of a vehicle ( ), wherein measurement values are taken into account, which are automatically detected at the wheels that are arranged at a fully assembled chassis ( ) of the vehicle ( ). Advantageously, the chassis ( ) is moved to an empty-weight position and at least one of the wheels is rotated. Preferably, an additional measurement value, which represents an inclination of the steering wheel ( ) of the vehicle ( ) is detected and taken into account. Advantageously, the adjusting device for adjusting the axle geometry is integrated into an assembly line after assembly devices that serve to at least assemble the chassis ( ) and the wheels of the vehicle ( ).
